The DemoGaz weighs in on Oil and Gas here. Slightly different story in Central Arkansas print version not lost on me. Isn't news here news there? Am I being persnickety for noticing? Thank God for internet reporting.
Further:
Arkansas leaders comfort themselves with theoretical possibility
because they don't truly understand physical limitation. They don't
mind committing toxic water to a class 2 injection well thousands of
feet below ground because they know that today the means to
retrieve and treat this water does in fact exist. Regardless of cost
and/or political will, it is theoretically possible to retrieve and
treat this water today.
Tomorrow, with global financial assistance, we will
perchance be able to retrieve and treat our water. But wouldn't it be
in the best interest of all Arkansans to negotiate our right to a
healthy existence immediately? In other words, we should be
negotiating the costs of the future today. When we do not, we
are wagering one generation's right to live versus another generation's
right to drive an SUV and live in a house the size of a grocery store.
